How a Hawaii Investment Fraud Attorney Can Help You
If you’ve experienced investment losses due to fraud or broker misconduct, the Hawaii securities attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. can potentially assist you in recovering compensation. Below we outline common securities violations in Hawaii and describe how our experienced attorneys can support your recovery efforts.
Common Securities Fraud Violations in Hawaii
Misrepresentation and Omission by Brokers
Brokers must provide truthful, complete information about investments. Misrepresentations and omissions violate the Hawaii Uniform Securities Act and federal SEC Rule 10b-5. Our attorneys investigate fraudulent practices to recover your losses.
Unsuitable Investment Recommendations
Under FINRA Rule 2111, brokers must recommend investments aligned with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Our lawyers can help if unsuitable advice caused you significant financial harm.
Ponzi and Pyramid Schemes
Ponzi schemes use new investors’ funds to pay returns to earlier investors, eventually collapsing and causing substantial losses. These schemes violate Hawaii’s securities laws, and our firm aggressively pursues claims against responsible parties.
Churning (Excessive Trading)
Churning involves excessive trading designed to generate commissions rather than benefit clients. Our attorneys can analyze trading records, identify churning violations under FINRA rules, and help you recover damages.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Brokers and investment advisors owe fiduciary duties to clients. Violations occur when professionals prioritize their interests over yours, causing financial losses. We can investigate breaches and hold accountable those responsible.
Unauthorized Trading and Broker Theft
Unauthorized trading and broker embezzlement violate securities laws and fiduciary duties. Our firm investigates these serious violations, documents misconduct, and aggressively seeks compensation for your losses.
